Would you and your family like to start a newfangled tradition in your home? Making memories are lifelong possessions that you can always carry home. Join a Park Interpreter at the Plantation Agriculture Museum State Park where you and your family can make a new memory. Tatting is an age-old, American art in lace-making that you can recreate using simple techniques with just your hands and a shuttle. What was once called poor man’s lace in pioneer days can now be a new hobby for you and your family to discover and take home today.
